The whispering in my ears seemed to be coming and going, which made me nervous and nervous, and I suspected that it was just an auditory halluciation caused by my lack of oxygen, so I whispered to Xiao Liang beside me:

"Xiao Liang, did you hear someone talking in the depths of the ancient tomb?"

As a result, the timid Xiao Liang's pretty face suddenly turned pale, she stared at me with a pair of big watery eyes, and said nervously: "Chen Rongsheng, don't scare me, you know that I am timid!" ”

I hurriedly said, "How can I have the leisure to scare you, just tell me, did you hear the sound of speech in the depths of the ancient tomb?" ”

Xiao Liang pricked up his ears and listened, then shook his head seriously, and said, "No, I can only hear the dripping sound of the air detector, Chen Rongsheng, are you hallucinating?" ”

I nodded slowly, "Maybe, maybe it's the sequelae of my lack of oxygen just now." ”

At this time, Jiang Yongguang's test was also over, he came back with an air detector, and said to us: "There is no toxic gas, the oxygen content in the ancient tomb is indeed low, but it does not affect our normal activities, let's go in." ”

With that, he took the lead and used the headlamp above his head to light the way for everyone.

We hurried to keep up.

After entering through the bronze giant gate, you will see a long and narrow corridor, which basically belongs to the interior of the ancient tomb, and the burial chamber where the coffin is placed can be seen not far ahead.

Entering the ancient tomb so easily, it made people very puzzled, Uncle Mei was surprised and said: "The owner of this tomb is really hospitable!" I don't even have a trap, I can see the coffin directly through the gate, and I'm not afraid of tomb robbers! ”

I also wondered, but where there are peerless treasures, the anti-theft facilities are quite complete.

For example, the Shui Yinhe River of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the yellow intestine inscription of the Western Han Tomb of Dabaotai, the quicksand trap of the Tomb of the Five Dynasties of Xiangyang, the white marble gate of the underground palace of Cixi Dongling, and so on......

The cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tomb in front of you are all heavyweights, and even the fragments scattered in the river have at least reached the standard of first-class cultural relics, but this ancient tomb is a posture of "the door of my house is often open, and the open arms are waiting for you", which is really incomprehensible.

At this time, Jiang Yongguang explained: "This is not unusual, because the age of this ancient tomb is too old, if this is really the ancient Shu civilization closely related to Sanxingdui, then the construction time of this ancient tomb is likely to be 4,000 years ago, or even longer......

I subconsciously asked, "So what?" Was it because the people of that period were simple and there were no tomb robbers? ”

Jiang Yongguang laughed at my question, he nodded and said:

"So to speak. Just imagine, at that time, there were not many civilized tribes in the land of China, only the ancient Shu Kingdom existed in this area, and the rulers of the ancient Shu Kingdom did not understand what the change of dynasties was, thinking that their rule would last for thousands of generations, in this case, how could anyone dare to dig up their tombs? Since no one dared to dig up the tombs, why did they bother to build any anti-theft facilities? ”

It dawned on me in an instant.

Jiang Yongguang said: "In fact, the earliest tomb robbery can be traced back to the Warring States Period, so from that time on, the tombs of the major princes and kings began to gradually build anti-theft facilities. One of the most famous yellow intestine inscriptions was not actually used to prevent theft at first, but was used to highlight the identity of the owner of the tomb, but with the increasing rampant tomb robbers, this ritual system gradually evolved into a high-standard anti-theft method. ”

Speaking of which, Jiang Yongguang can be regarded as my enlightenment teacher in the discipline of tomb robbing, and I learned a lot of this knowledge from him.

Listening to him explain this professional knowledge along the way, everyone was naturally distracted, and this gloomy and cold ancient tomb seemed less terrifying, and even the timid Xiao Liang became much more relaxed.

However, just as we were chatting, a filial piety guard walking in front of me suddenly fell to the ground with an "ouch", and Jiang Yongguang quickly turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The fallen Xiaolingwei struggled and shouted, "There is ...... Someone tugged at my ankle! ”

These words immediately startled us, how could someone pull his ankle when he walked decently? Could it be that someone is lying on this road and ambushing us?

Unexpectedly, before I could take a closer look, Xiao Liang beside me suddenly screamed, and one fell to her knees, and then she suddenly shouted in horror: "Ah! It's the hand! Ground...... There's a hand on the ground! ”

It sounds even more strange - there are hands on the ground?

I held back the fear in my heart and lowered my head to look at the position where Xiao Liang was, but at this look, my scalp instantly went numb!

I saw that on the ground near her feet, a big pale and thin hand was indeed stretched out, this hand had open five fingers and sharp nails, as if it was a strange grass growing wildly, desperately poking out of the ground.

What's even more terrifying is that not far from the place where Xiaolingwei fell, there is also the same big hand, which is like a plant that can be seen everywhere in the field, sticking out of the soil and grabbing it hard.

I glanced around, and saw that there were about four or five similar big hands in this land. An ancient tomb built thousands of years ago, but there are several strange hands with sound skin and flesh growing in it, this scene really startled us, and even the well-informed Uncle Mei couldn't help but tremble at the corners of his mouth.

I tried to pull up the little beam that was kneeling on the ground, but I couldn't pull it at all, the bones on her body seemed to be crispy, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, and it didn't take long for me to faintly hear a gurgling sound from under her......

Uncle Mei shouted to Jiang Yongguang worriedly: "What is this?" I think this ancient tomb is really evil! Let's get out early! ”

Jiang Yongguang was not panicked, he didn't seem to be frightened by the strange scene in front of him at all, he locked the beam of the headlamp on the strange hand stretched out from the ground, and said in a calm tone:

"Don't panic, these aren't dirty things, they're rats buried in the ground."

"Mouse?" I was stunned and asked, "Tomb robbers?" ”

Jiang Yongguang nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it's a tomb robber." As I said earlier, tomb robbers are a group of vicious criminals, and their danger is among the highest among all criminals. These hands are the hands of grave robbers who have been buried alive in the ground......"

The more I listened, the more confused I became: "The hand of a tomb robber buried alive?" Since it was the tomb robbers who were buried alive, who was buried alive? ”

Jiang Yongguang sneered: "Of course, it's also a tomb robber." Xiao Chen, I guess you haven't heard of 'Living Seed' and 'Immortal Earth', right? ”
